Savio Vega got his foot in the door of WWE courtesy of Bam Bam Bigelow and Scott Hall, as he recently recalled. Vega spoke about how he got into the company on Stories With Brisco And Bradshaw and recalled how he got his name passed to Hall via Bigelow, which allowed him to get a WWE tryout. You can check out the highlights below, per Wrestling Inc:

On asking Bam Bam Bigelow for help getting to WWE: “I said to him please, if you see Scott Hall, tell him I say hello. We wrestled here in Puerto Rico many times, the cowboy Scott Hall. We got involved in a few matches. Next tour, Bam Bam Bigelow arrives, he says here, Scott sends you his number. He’s gonna be at home next week.”

On the delay between his tryout and signing with the company: “They send me home, almost three months, I’m starving already, I start working as a security to make money. One day I said f**k it, I gotta call these people to ask if they’re gonna give me my job or what.”
